Assembling 100 Penn Staters To Beat The Gorilla

Could 100 people defeat a gorilla in battle?

That’s the question that’s been raging across the internet for the past week. Plenty of folks believe that with the right mindset and the right group, 100 people could surely take down a gorilla. Others, of course, are siding with the gorilla.

We took the time to assemble our team of Penn Staters that we think at least has a fighting chance of taking down the gorilla. This list is composed of plenty of Penn State student-athletes, notable alumni with military backgrounds, and some on-campus celebrities.

Each member was handpicked according to their present-day strengths and weaknesses, and each was selected with a role in mind. Some are meant to attack the gorilla head-on, some are for strategy and morale, and others, frankly, are meant to be sacrificed on the front lines.

Without further ado, here’s our list of 100 Penn Staters to fight the gorilla.
